26th April Games

Mark was good enough to run his dungeon crawl game last night for the benefit of myself, Dave K, Steves S and H, Eddie and Alex. The Wayland Games setup was available so we populated it with various unpleasantries, including orcs, snake persons and various wizards with attitude problems. These were dealt with in the normal fashion (swords, axes, arrows, spells etc) which at close of play left most members of the party carrying wounds, but all gribblies terminated with moderate to severe prejudice. Rob was involved in an Infinity game next to us, which was also somewhat kinetic.

Next week, Dave K has offered to run a zombie apocalypse game.

19th April Games

Our presence was reduced to Steves S and H, Alex, Dave K and Mark this week, which gave me the chance to replay the Beachhead scenario from Space Hulk. Alex and Mark led the Sons of the Lion (Deathwing), whilst the remainder ran the Genestealers. There was a rather lot of bloodshed (mostly on the part of the Deathwing), while the stealers' losses were also high. Although the Deathwing cleared most of the opposition, their own losses were so high that the game was declared a draw. The usual 'spirited discussions on rules interpretation' occured but no wargamers were harmed in the process . . . just.

Next week, Mark has offered to run his dungeon crawl so I'll look out my Frostgrave figures which are perfect for this game. In the meantime, I'll hopefully see some of you at Salute on Saturday. Bring your own bank balance!

12th April Games

Lower turnout than of late last night; Steve S ran the planned Star Wars: Legion game for myself, Eddie, Mark and Steve H, while Rob and Alan played Infinity elsewhere in the Wayland site. The former game was played over a ruined city area, with various objectives for Imperial and Rebel Alliance forces. Lack of familiarity with the rules on my part as well as some of the other players was instrumental in slowing the game down, which as a result was adjudged to be a draw. 

Next week, I’ve offered to run a Space Hulk game. Can any other planned games be advised to me please?

5th April Games

Most of those present played Bolt Action WW2 British vs Germans with umpire Dave K last night; 'spirited discussion' of rules esoterica ensue, but dispite suffering substantial casualties the German forces held their objectives at the end of play. Its fair to say we aren't as familiar with Bolt Action as a rules set as we might be, but personally they aren't a favourite of mine. The search for the perfect set continues.

Rob and Alan were engaged in a game of Infinity elsewhere in the centre.

Next week, a Star War Legion game has been planned; I have a copy of the air combat game Mustangs which I'll bring along.

See yer soon
